So if bought full price will the verizon version work on sprint? I read somewhere it did but not band 41. Can anyone confirm this or have any info on this?
Got a tip for us?

How to tell if iPhone is unlocked

I started out with 6s+. Thought it was to big. Exchanged for 6s. Still confused so purchased the 6s+ again to have both phone's to compare at the same time. Returned the 6s today.
Doing a restore after you purchase your phone doesn't take long if your interested in finding out if your phone is unlocked. Using another sim from a different carrier is a good idea.
BUT when i had my first 6s+ i used an Unactivated T-Mobile sim that i used to change the setting's in my iPhone 5 when i switched to Straight Talk from AT&T. In the 6s+ I noticed in setting's Carrier showed up right under Cellular. I tapped it and it showed Automatic and the radio button was green. I turned the button off and up popped the 4 major carrier's with AT&T checked. I then checked T-Mobile, and turned on the button to automatic. When i put back in my AT&T sim, and a box popped up update setting's so i did, and the sim worked for AT&T.
I'm thinking the phone will accept any of the major carrier's, but i don't know about any of the other's like Straight Talk? I do know when i looked up the model number's AT&T had a long list of carrier's that the phone would support, but the other's had none?
I don't know much about what's unlocked. The phone or the sim? Can anyone explain?

No.
You're confusing it with their unlocked 4S.
The i5 and anything newer comes fully unlocked for gsm use even for domestic us carriers.
All Verizon LTE ipgones are the same.
thats b.s.
any iPhone 5 from verizon is cdma AND GSM. you can use CDMA on verizon, remove the SIM card and use the GSM for AT&T.
As a matter of fact EVERY SINGLE PHONE that is CDMA and LTE that is sold, is also a GSM phone.
you can't have LTE without GSM, period
the only problem wth the verizon iPhone 5 and AT&T and t-mobie was the limited number of channels. they did not have LTE HIGH SPEED channels for verizon and AT&T and t-mobile in the same phone. this means if you took your verizon iPhone to AT&T, it would work , but you would only get 4G HSPDA+ speeds and not LTE speeds.
when the 5s and 5c came out, this was fixed, and that phone had 11 or 13 channels and had AT&T and verizon and t-mobile channels in the same phone
you can bring a VERIZON iPhone 5 to AT&T but you cant bring an AT&T iPhone 5 to VERIZON
